Removal
and Fitting Sheets
MGF
rear screen removal fact sheet:
- With
the roof in the up position and window closed. Release the back bar
by kneeling into the back of the car and pulling back the carpet.
-
Release the 5 spring loaded clips this releases the back bar. You
are now able to lift up the back bar which is hinged in both corners.
(Note: at this stage it is advisable that you cover the rear deck
with a dust sheet in order to protect the paint work and to catch
the drilling.)
-
A row of rivets is now revealed along the back bar, these need to
be drilled out using an 1/8th drill bit. There are 15 rivets that
need to be drilled.
- Once
the rivets have been drilled out and the metal strip removed, you
can unzip the rear screen and the rear screen section is out (you
may find a metal clasp at the end of the zip which has to be removed)
MGF Refitting Instructions:
- Lay your now reconditioned rear screen
in place along the back bar taking care to line up as removed. It
is a good idea to rivet the middle hole first and double check that
the screen is in the correct position.
- Replace all the rivets that had been
removed.
- You can now do up the zip.
- Push the rear bar downwards back
into its original position and reclamp.
- Place the carpet back.
- You may need to clean the screen
inside and out using a household spray window cleaner and a soft cloth.
MX5 Rear Screen Removal
Fact Sheet
With roof in up position
and window closed.
- Remove plastic carpet clips around
rear deck. Pull carpet back
to reveal 3 section metal rails.
- Remove 10mm nuts (3 in each side
rail and 7 in centre rail). Remove rails.
- You will see the rain guttering
(plastic and rubber) round the rear deck. Drill the heads off all
rivets. These rivets hold the rear section of hood to the main body
of the hood. There are two more rivets at each corner of the rain
guttering which are not possible to drill into position.
- Slide the rear section of hood off
all the captive bolts and firmly pull up both corner sections of the
roof, this will enable you to drill the two remaining rivets at each
side.
- There are two remaining flat brass
rivets holding the two parts of the hood together, again drill these
out.
- Remove the metal clips at either
end of the zip and unzip the rear panel making sure you don't lose
the slider.
- You are now able to take the rear
screen section out.
MX5 Refitting Instructions
- Lay the screen panel roughly in place.
- Reattach the zip slider making sure
the two halves of the zip are in line and then close the zip.
- Reattach the two small metal clips
to each end of the zip.
- Refit the plastic rain guttering
to the captive bolts (back half of guttering only.)
- It is only necessary to re-rivet
the two brass rivets you took out as in section six of the removal
instructions. No other re-riveting is necessary.
- Relocate the rear section of the
hood to the captive bolts. Making sure you tuck the rear section of
hood between the two halves of the plastic rain channel.
- Refit one of the side metal rails
first, then the middle section followed by the remaining side rail
and replace the 10mm nuts.
- Fold back the carpet to its original
position and refit the plastic clips.
-
Clean the Perspex
screen with spray window cleaner, using a soft cloth.
